We've fixed the chatroom so it won't take forever to log in anymore! Chatbot is working as well, so you'll get Turk Alerts immediately instead of having to wait for the emails. :)

Chat is a happening place with Turk Alerts, sharing of HITs, and advice on how to make more money. So, why should you join:

- If you have a question, we have real-time answers. We also have lots of advice for newbies!
- Instant Turk Alerts go to the chatroom, meaning you'll know as soon as a requester posts HITs. Don't see a requester you like? Ask us and we'll add them! Want to get an alarm when a requester posts HITs? We can help you set that up.
- We have a few HIT sharing threads for surveys and the like, but most of the HIT sharing goes on in chat. If you want to know immediately when a great HIT is posted, chat is the place to be!
- If you participate in Swagbucks, we post SB alerts in chat as soon as we find them.
- On top of all that, the camaraderie in chat builds new friendships and bonds us as a whole. If you're looking to truly become part of a Turking community, chat is the best place to start.

It's very beneficial! It allows you to see ratings of a requester that are written by other MTurk users. You can also rate your experiences with requesters. A small arrow appears by the requester name in the HIT results. Here's a screenshot of it:

Ratings are done on a scale of 1 to 5 and show different aspects - communication, fairness, pay, promptness. People can also flag Terms of Service (ToS) violations. If there is a blue arrow instead of a red arrow, that means the requester hasn't been rated yet.

There are 2 other tools I suggest you install, the HIT database and Turkmaster. Hit database tracks all of the HITs you have done - Turkmaster allows you to set monitors for HIT types and requesters you like working for, it helps you to quickly grab those high paying survey - it helps you compete for HITs. You can learn more about turkmaster on this thread http://turkernation.com/showthread.p...H-INSTRUCTIONS!

You can add the requesters you like working for to your Watchlist and get email notifications when they put up a Hit or batch. It works best for batches as there is a slight time delay and single Hits are often already gone by the time the email reaches you, especially if they are well paid.

A note regarding Turkopticon - it is best in my experience to take a minute and look through recent reviews of a requester you want to work for rather than only relying on the ratings. The ratings in itself can on occasion be misleading, mainly because people have different views on what constitutes fast pay or good pay, etc, or sometimes because people use the ratings in ways they were not intended to be used. Reading the reviews also gives you valuable additional information such as whether there is an unpaid screening process or how long a survey took, whether there were any technical problems and so on.

Let's put it this way, I've been turking for 4 days and didn't know about Turkopticon on my first day and I did a guy's hits with terrible reviews and didn't know it and he rejected them all because he was a scammer. My rating is now at about 85% and it's going to take me awhile to get it back up.

Most modern theories of decision making recognize the fact that decisions do not take place in a vacuum. Shoulda got a Shark!
